Innovation Week, a catalyst for change
In the midst of the evolving supply chain ecosystem, Solistica stands out as a regional 3PL logistics solutions integrator committed to innovation and excellence. This commitment is tangibly embodied in initiatives such as Innovation Week at Solistica Mexico, a transformative event that reflects the company's dedication to staying at the forefront of the logistics industry.
Innovation Week is not just another event on the corporate calendar; it represents a deep dive into the latest trends and best practices in the logistics sector. For three intensive days, Solistica teams are immersed in an environment of learning and creativity, with the clear objective of elevating their logistics solutions to the next level.
"We are excited to kick off an event that will transform our logistics operations and empower the skills of our experts," stated a Solistica spokesperson at the opening of the event. This statement perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the initiative: an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence.
Structure and activities: A program designed to inspire.
Innovation Week is carefully structured to maximize learning and encourage creativity. The program includes a variety of activities designed to stimulate innovative thinking:
- Keynote lectures given by experts in logistics and technology.
- Hands-on workshops where teams can apply new concepts to real-world cases
- Brainstorming sessions to generate fresh ideas and innovative solutions
- Exhibits on the latest technologies in automation and warehouse management.
One of the highlights is the focus on emerging technologies such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and RPA (Robotic Process Automation), which are revolutionizing the efficiency of logistics operations.
Customer benefits: Innovation that translates into value.
Solistica's investment in innovation translates directly into tangible benefits for its customers. By adopting cutting-edge technologies and agile methodologies, Solistica is able to offer:
- Increased efficiency in warehousing and distribution operations.
- Reduced delivery times and operating costs
- Improved accuracy and traceability of shipments
- Customized solutions that adapt to the specific needs of each customer.
A concrete example of how innovation translates into added value is the development of environmentally friendly packaging for the transport of medicines. These containers, with a capacity of 30 liters, are made of reusable, high-strength materials and feature a cooling gel technology that, upon expiration, becomes organic fertilizer for agriculture.

Success stories: Innovation in action
Optimization of the cold chain
Solistica has developed MegaFreeze, an integrated cold chain logistics center located in Bogota, Colombia. With more than 10,500 m³ of capacity dedicated to the refrigeration of pharmaceutical and hospital products, MegaFreeze is one of the largest cold rooms in South America. This innovation allows customers to gain greater control of their products, while streamlining the flow of operations, always maintaining the necessary temperature and humidity conditions.

Sustainable solutions for Coca-Cola FEMSA
In collaboration with Coca-Cola FEMSA, Solistica implemented a dedicated transportation fleet that runs on vehicles powered by natural gas, a cleaner technology. In addition, they developed a semi-automated maquila at the Tocancipá bottling plant, the largest in Colombia. This innovation drastically reduced waste and raised productivity in bid assembly, saving close to US$1 million in packaging materials in the first year and increasing production capacity by 55% for the bottle line and 300% for the Tetra packaging line.
